HF Markets Leverage

Typical leverage on HF Markets can be up to 1:2,000, depending on the account type. Traders can choose floating leverage or fixed leverage option to operate with. The maximum leverage of 1:2,000 applies only to major forex pairs, other instruments have lower leverage limits.

With leverage of 2,000, you can open a trade position worth up to 2,000 times the value of your deposit. For example, with a deposit of $100, you can place a trade of $200,000.

Note: Trading with leverage is very risky, and you must avoid using more than 1:30 leverage on forex. The availability of a floating leverage option is an advantage, and you must never use 1:1000 leverage. As a caution by HF Markets, leverage is adjusted when your equity exceeds $300,000.

Note that trading leverage products involves risk and you can lose all your money. It is best to avoid trading unless you understand it or have experience. It is important that you do not use all the leverage available as it increases your risk and the chance of losing your money.
